点评:A very interesting trip to Chawton House, the home of Edward Austen Knight, brother of Jane Austen and near to the Jane Austen House where she lived and wrote or finished most of her novels in the latter part of her life. She and her sister did visit and dine at the House. Her sister and mother are buried in the adjoining churchyard. The house guides were welcoming and knowledgeable, and this helped in getting a picture of her family tree (as well as family portraits, artefacts) explaining connections to the novels. There was a superb exhibition about other women authors of the period, providing interesting context to her work, and the guides open and let visitors look round the library which she would have spent many hours in. The garden and grounds were beautiful, the rose garden in full bloom. Much recommended!
翻译:一次非常有趣的查顿庄园之旅。查顿庄园是简·奥斯汀兄弟爱德华·奥斯汀·奈特的故居,也靠近简·奥斯汀故居。奥斯汀晚年的大部分小说都在这里创作完成。她和姐姐也曾在查顿庄园参观并用餐。她的姐姐和母亲葬在毗邻的教堂墓地。庄园导游热情好客,知识渊博,这帮助我了解了奥斯汀的家谱(以及家族肖像和文物),并解释了奥斯汀与小说的联系。庄园里有一个关于同时代其他女性作家的精彩展览,为奥斯汀的作品提供了有趣的背景。导游还会开放参观图书馆,让游客参观奥斯汀本人经常在那里待上几个小时的图书馆。花园和庭院都很漂亮,玫瑰园盛开。强烈推荐!
